    Question Roths Lyrics are... What??!! He Said THAT?!? WTF?!

    I have to laugh at 'misheard lyrics'...and there are a million examples out there...
    But the latest one for me is from 'Tattoo'...

    Swap meet Sally....(at least I didnt think it was 'swamp meat'!! lolol)

    ....????

    So its 'TRAMP STAMP TAT' ?? Seriously?? Am I losing my hearing in my old age?
    What did YOU think it was? I just kept sloshing over it with something like 'drimsdell cat'...


    At the risk of your own embarassment, please let me know that Im not alone here!! Not just ADKOT---any Dave/VH lyrics will do!!
    ...livin in the online VH world for 19 years....thanks to a 2 year old.....

    Well, you're certainly not alone, but I believe the majority of us who tripped over the lyrics were set straight at this very place the day the single came out. Where've ya been? LOL.

    Well, almost every lyric site has the line 'TRAMP STAMP KAT'. In the video clip Ed looks like he says it, but the lyrics with the ADKOT CD say otherwise (but then again some of those lyrics are wrong too)

    I'm guessing Dave is keeping us guessing and talking around the dinner table quote unquote

    My worst is in Could this be magic - I misheard "foot tappin" as "puddin' tab". Do NOT ask me what that was supposed to mean.

    Oh dear.

    "You got roll with the punches... to get to Montreal..."

    Is it a personal goal, or is it Zen?
    Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

    In Tattoo....they sing "Tattoo, Tattoo.."

    But I swear in the video Eddie says "That new tattoo" which kinda makes sense as it exactly echoes the line Dave just sang.

    "In the time it took to get that new tattoo....that new tattoo"
    "In the time it took to get that new tattoo....tattoo tattoo"

    I kinda like the wrong way better.

    I think it's "that new tattoo" the first time, and "tattoo tattoo" the rest.

    What about the ultimate unknown misheard lyric in Girl Gone Bad after the solo (before the chorus comes rumbling back in??)

    15 years later and I still can't decipher it.

    Isn't the second muffled sentence something like "I don't call them my own (or home)" Great one to get to the bottom of.

    I'm gonna sell my Dad out here. I distinctly remember my Pop asking me, "who's Maxwell Jump?" I immediately knew he had to of been thinking that "might as well" was Maxwell. That stuck with me all of these years. I'm sure he forgot about it the second after I cleared it up for him. Life's funny like that.

    Haha!! I know! I didnt look at the lyrics for weeks after we got the CD! I find that, even after seeing the correct lyrics, its hard to drop the habit of singing the wrong ones!! (Picture me cruising along...singing with gusto...'Swapmeet Sally...drimsdell cat'!!!
